When their not strutting their stuff. They look like this. Most of the time they look almost completly black. I quess hence the nick name midnight.
Your dominant or "show" male "demasoni Mozambique" does not have barring characteristic of P. demasoni from Mozambique. The fact that the oddly shaped bars (which look more like those of P. elongatus Chewere!) are obvious on the front half of the fish and fade toward the caudal just scream it. There should not be orange coloration on the caudal fin either. Same for a few others of the rest of that batch. Fine if you got them from a "reputable source". IMO that fish is at least part P. elongatus no matter how much you swear demasoni up and down.
The problem with ever having something new, is the internet isn't plastered with pictures of what you may have. So Show me a picture of a mozambique in spawning dress and prove me wrong.
EDIT: we can start another thread for this .
I am sorry for starting controversy on a game thread.

These two fish are not demasoni at all.cichlidfinder said:Try this.
This should be more straight forward.
Looks to me like a cross of some sorts. I will look for a decent photo of a demasoni and get it posted.
Definitely not a chewere. I have a male and 2 females, wild caughts, and they don't look like this at all. Chewere have some yellow in the tail area and are loads lighter in colour. Tend to be more brownish with the stripes just showing and the tail showing some pale blue. Will try and see if I can get a clear shot of my male and will post it if successful.fish speaker said:

They are Placidochromis phenochilus
And your demasoni Is POMBO rocks NOT MOZAMBIQUE.
